Chapter 705 Maynard "the pursuer"
coverart Caribou's henchmen all taken out, just to serve as a lesson for all
(T may just mean the revolutionaries here)

Franky says as long as he's identity isn't revealed, everything's fine. Then gets to his work.
The toy soldier says he's follow him. Franky says he has no use for someone who doesn't know where the factory is, but the Toy soldier does indeed know something... he says let's move to another place before getting into the details.
In the spectators marines are checking out the audiences. The man who was communiating with the marine is Vice Admiral Capman (known as Maynard, the "Pursuer") and he defeats Balto Romeo/Bartolomeo's adviser.

(The blind man that looks like Zatoichi is confirmed as Admiral Fujitora by T. His name is Isshou)
Fujitora heads to Green Bit, and orders three warships from the HQ.
He finds the number of people they need to protect is more crucial than the number of enemies that must be defeated.

Law's group disguised themselves and arrived at the Green Bit bridge. While they're having tea and gathering info, CP-0 appears.
Official name is Cypher Pol Aegis Zero

Zoro catches the fairy, but falls off the building. The fairy comes floating down from above, carrying the goods. Zoro is suprised.
Dofla's goons contacts Kin and tells him if he values Kanjuro's life, come with them.
Meanwhile, Sanji is taking out a sniper for Violet.

Some strange noise coming from a room on the Sunny....

Capman is taken out instantly by Balto Romeo/Bartholomeo
He is shown in shadows, but looks pretty menacing.

Wait, so does this mean that Fujitora is NOT the blind man after all? Or does this mean he left the stadium?

Holy crap, I totally called a new CP group appearing in the NW. I was expecting a CP10, though. Either way, this is awesome.

Wait, does this mean that Sanji becomes a sniper himself, or the guy Violet wants dead is a sniper? I'm a little confused here.

Also, can't wait to finally see that Balto Romeo guy (or whatever he's called)! Dude sounds like a real beast if he's ALSO capable of making fodder out of a VA....

Sorry, left out the first part of the T spoiler
No, T confirmed the blind man is Admiral Fujitora, and his name is Isshou.

So he left the colosseum it seems. And Sanji seems to be taking out a sniper, at Violet's request. (as in, probably kicking the sniper's ass)
Not much details on that matter since T hasn't read it, he's just going off on what his wife has.

Fujitora confirmation is awesome. Now all mystery is up to earth logia or something gravity based.
CP0 is meh. I wonder if they are just replacements like the rest of those agents in sea train. Because this arc already has more than enough main villains. However, adding sthem into this eems interesting.
Im glad that CP is becoming a more frequent threat.

While at it, I'd really like Lucci to appear here. May sound random at first but he has a few reasons to join into this. Killing without penalty being the simplest one...or CP0 being here... (If Spandam controls all CP cells but 9 that is)

Rather disjointed chapter, even though Oda usually excels at multiple subplots interweaving into one major storyline / major message. I'm hoping he'll pull it off in the end, but at this point there's zero connection whatsoever in between most of the developments in this chapter.

More intro's to new character and finally get conformation of the blind man being a marine soldier (admiral fujitora) but I'm waiting for the English scans for more verification.

Seriously though, I think its pretty obvious now that Doflamingo is really connected in the underworld with all these guys popping up now, there bound to be chaos soon. It also is a testament as to how dangerous Joker is, which is all the more reason Luffy needs to gain more battle experience (the Colosseum) since I have said before, Luffy is the type of guy learns with pain and experience rather than talent or self-training methods.

Will still don't know much about Rebecca's past but she does seem to hold a grudge against Doflamingo that's for sure.

She maybe a Straw hat candidate to become the next crew member or maybe not.
She may be the one Luffy decides to give the Mera Mera fruit or maybe not.

If she does obtain the Mera Mera fruit by the end of the arc, how long will it take to master it? It's not easy to perfect or training your devil fruit power and it takes lots of time. And since the straw hats are in the New World, its only would make it more complicated for Rebecca now, since the New World is no joke, however she may be a genius or talented unlike other people (Luffy). Remember that when Ace left Fuusha village to adventure the ocean and seek new crew members, he didn't have a devil fruit power then and managed to become a notorious rookie in less than 3 years with his devil fruit power (Ace obtained the Mera Mera fruit during his adventure). It took luffy approximately 14-15 years to master the basics of his devil fruit power. I like Luffy but he is slow minded. Will see though.

Looks like things will get a lot more complicated than expected, with the marines taking inventory of possible adversaries, CP-0 showing up, and the blind man revealed to be Fujitora. Awesome! Law is rightly concerned that the country is NOT in chaos, which would have made it easier to get their plan underway. There are a ton of plot threads ongoing, with the factory group being entirely split up now and doing their own things. Oh boy.

Decent chapter. A little too much going on, but it's nice to get the mystery of the Admiral out of the way (though it begs the question of why he was even partially hidden to begin with). And Caeser in costume was hilarious.

too much going on in this chapter, a little difficult to follow but still pretty interesting. i'm just glad that oda just went out and confirmed fujitora's identity, i was worried he would drag it on for several chapters.

Damn, this arc could be huge, just defining all the different story arcs will take a couple of weeks and then there's the original mission.
This might well take a year or 2... Awesome, but confusing at the same time.
